Chapter 160 What I Eat Is Right or Wrong "Please Ask for a Monthly Ticket"

The waiters in the restaurant are well-mannered, and they are not dissatisfied because of Fan Wubing's strange remarks here. In fact, many of the guests they meet every day are grumpy.

As an employee of an international hotel, the first rule is to try not to conflict with guests. However, if it is really unbearable, for example, when someone tramples on their dignity and humiliates their personality, they can still argue with reason. There is a premise that you must never do anything, at most you can call the security guard at the door to come in and deal with it.

After ordering, some ready-to-serve dishes were served first, and the waiter asked, "Sir, what kind of drinks do you want?"

The selection of drinks is usually decided by the most authoritative person at the banquet. The waiter asked the group of people who came over, and everyone pointed their fingers at Fan Wubing's table, so the waiter asked here .

When Xia Donghai saw the waiter looking at him, he knew that he must have seen that he was older. Fan Wubing had one child, and the two girls were naturally not likely to be the ones who could call the shots. He regarded himself as the boss. So he smiled and said, "Don't look at me! The master is there, it's all his consumption, you see what he says!"

The waiter looked at Fan Wubing, and thought to himself whose family is this young master, right? With so many people asking him to spend, he is really rich! But it's none of his business, so he repeated, "Sir, what kind of drinks do you want?"

Fan Wubing thought for a while and said, "I don't even remember the names of the wines. It seems that the most famous wines are from the Bordeaux region of France, right? What Lafite, Latour?"

The waiter is obviously very skilled, and immediately introduced him, "In addition to Lafite.\Latour, we also have Hongyanrong, Mouton, Margaux, Petrus, White Horse, Ausone, and the eight wine kings. , of course domestic wines are also available, and the prices are much cheaper.”

He looked at the number of people dining in the hall, and asked in a low voice, "I see that there are a lot of you here, why don't you just have some domestic wine?"

Fan Wubing waved his hands and said, "To be honest, I don't have much affection for French wines. But today I am entertaining the staff, and I can't let them say that the boss is too stingy. This is good, isn't it the eight wine kings? Every table Eight bottles are definitely not enough to drink, it’s a bit of a waste. \Then put four bottles on each table, and the two tables will exchange drinks, and everyone will taste it, which can be regarded as the top French wine.”

The waiter nodded and wrote it down, but was greatly shocked in his heart. "Four bottles per table, a total of seven tables, but the cost is much more expensive than the food! These people are really rich!"

After the waiter left, Chen Jingchu asked. "Why do you always have to pair wine with Western food?"

Fan Wubing said,

"This is mainly because wine itself is a kind of table wine, which is usually drunk during meals and banquets. Due to the different characteristics of wine types, it can be scientifically paired with dishes to more perfectly reflect the sensory style of wine."

"Can you give me an example to explain?" Feng Ping asked from the side.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "For example, dry red wine contains certain phenolic substances, and it will be better enjoyed with braised pork, steak, chicken, duck and other meat dishes. Greasy. It can also make the taste of the dishes more intense. At the same time, due to the color of dry red wine, it can increase the festive atmosphere of friends gathering. Generally speaking. ^^^^ Red wine pairing with red meat conforms to the rules of cooking science itself. The tannins in the red meat combine with the protein in the red meat, allowing digestion to begin while you're eating."

"Oh, do you have to drink red wine when you eat meat?" Feng Ping finally understood.

"That's not the case anymore." Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "When red wine is paired with some seafood, the high content of tannins will seriously damage the taste of the seafood, and the wine itself will even have an annoying metallic taste. .Wine does not have a rigid rule that a certain kind of wine must be paired with a certain kind of food, but if it can be properly matched with food, it can complement each other, because wine can refresh the taste buds and induce the deliciousness of food, and proper food can also bring out the best in each other. Make the beauty of the wine more vivid, and get a kind of taste enjoyment.”

"I don't really understand, but I heard that red wine goes with red meat, and white wine goes with white meat. Is that true?" Seeing that Fan Wubing was talking vigorously, Xia Donghai interjected.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "The general popular principle is to pair red meat with red wine, and white meat with white wine, but you can also make new discoveries if you make some bold attempts occasionally. To match, you don’t have to follow the principle of red meat with red wine and white meat with white wine. Sometimes, such as heavy-flavored braised fish can also be paired with light red wine, and heavy-flavored poultry food can also be paired with strong white wine and light red wine. \This is all personal experience, and it doesn’t have to be rote.”

"You know so many things—" Feng Ping couldn't help but sighed, and then asked curiously, "Why are the eight wine kings all from Bordeaux, France?"

Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders and said to her, "Most people think it's because Bordeaux wine in France has a long history and the quality of the wine is good, but it's not the same thing at all! Italy's wine history is much earlier than his Yes! It’s just that the French advertised early, that is to say, they can hype, so it’s easy to become famous. Adding hundreds of wineries, shouldn’t it be right to produce a few wine kings?”

After chatting for a while, the food and drink were served, as was the 1-jin lobster, but it was the first time that everyone came out with the boss, and it was a place full of history like the International Hotel. They stared wide-eyed there, and no one started to eat. ^^^^

Fan Wubing stood up and said to the surrounding employees, "Colleagues, please do your own thing. I don't drink too much, so I won't toast one by one. Everyone still has one goal, eat well and drink well!"

As soon as the boss said this, everyone's minds became active, and the dinner was much more lively. Although eating western food basically pays attention to the atmosphere and quietness, everyone obviously doesn't have so many worries. Chatting is a Chinese tradition!

Fan Wubing always felt that the noise in the dining room was not good, so he called the waiter over and asked him to find some piano music to play. , and the music with a classical taste was played.

"Sir, would you open the wine now?" the waiter asked.

Fan Wubing nodded, and the waiter skillfully wiped the wine bottle clean, then used the knife on the corkscrew to cut off the bottle seal along the protruding circle of the bottle mouth, and then wiped the bottle mouth with a paper towel Clean, then insert the tip of the screwdriver of the corkscrew into the center of the cork, slowly rotate clockwise to drill into the cork, and then pull down the handle to support another support point on the mouth of the bottle. Hold it with your left hand, then lift the handle straight up with your right hand, hold the cork with your hand, shake it gently, then pull out the cork very gracefully, and then wipe the mouth of the bottle clean with a paper towel.

"Very professional moves." Fan Wubing couldn't help but praise after seeing it.

Opening the bottle is also very particular. The waiter's technique in front of me will undoubtedly bring people a visual enjoyment. If it is pulled out fluffy, it will appear tasteless.

After pouring out the wine, Fan Wubing took the goblet and shook it lightly in his hands, explaining to the two girls, "This action wakes up the wine, and the aroma of the wine usually takes some time to dissipate." Sobering up is very helpful to dissipate the smell of wine. When the goblet is swirled, the area of ​​the wine in contact with the air will increase, and oxidation can be added to release more of the wine's aroma. Of course Yes, for general ready-to-drink red wine and white wine, you don’t need to spend too much time sobering up. Sometimes there may be smelly sulfur and some peculiar smells, but it will dissipate in just a few minutes. Sulfur dioxide is an additional It is harmless to the human body, if there is still a peculiar smell after a while, it may be a problem with the quality of this bottle of wine."

The waiter was still standing by the side, and after hearing Fan Wubing's explanation, he couldn't help but praise, "Sir, you are really knowledgeable. Although we have learned various skills, we really don't understand why we do this." .”

Fan Wubing laughed, thinking that these are petty bourgeois sentiments, but how could they be so particular? It's just that French wines are inherently deficient and taste bad, so they come up with so many tricks to fool people.

"I'm here to sober up too!" Feng Ping shook with great interest, but her movements seemed to be a little bigger and faster, so the red wine swirled faster and faster in the goblet, and finally flew out .

The red wine crossed the barrier of space, drew a graceful arc, and landed on the face of a guest at the next table.

"Damn it! You killed someone?!" The man suddenly jumped up angrily.
